Pyrrosia subfurfuracea

A felt-leaved creeping fern of the montane forests from the eastern Himalaya to Vietnam, growing on tree trunks and rocks. Like other Pyrrosia it handles a dry winter well thanks to its thick, scaly fronds, and does best mounted or in a very open mix with bright filtered light.
